OS X (obsolete & unsupported since 2018) has more users than macOS?!

~~Also, where did you get those stats? https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/all/north-america has different numbers to yours.~~

A young 'un! Macintosh, surely.

Os9!

I just dont get why they changed it from osx to whatever it is now. 10.4, 10.5, 15.7...

I think it's 26 now. You know, the number that comes after 15.

This post concerns Desktop marketshare, and I believe the OP got it from the following link:

Wait, they renamed it? And back to the previous name? The previous name of the pre-Unix version of the OS was MacOS.

I thought these stats meant there were still significant numbers of people on 25 year old computers.
